Greetings.
I am currently running a Windows 10 64bit machine.
When looking through the Exploit Protection settings in Windows Defender, I found a process named clview.exe. This process is not present in my task manager, which lets me suspect that it is probably not running.
Anyhow, I have found that this process can be genuine and non-harmful, specifically if it is located in the Program Files folder. How do I get to the executable's location if I can not access it through the task manager?
I would like to verify that this file is safe since it has system override privileges.
Thank you very much.

Thanks so much.
Also, I did something perhaps stupid and went on to delete all the system override permissions in the Exploit Protection settings. Will it negatively affect my system?
Thanks so much.

I can find clview.exe neither in the path you mentioned nor in C:\Program Files (x86)\microsoft office\officeXX .
Do you know what this means?
Thank you again.
